Vulatan was a Jedi Master who was in service to both the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic.
Around 400 BBY, Vulatan, a Force-sensitive individual who had undergone training in the Force under the auspices of the Jedi Order, attained the esteemed rank of Jedi Master. He pursued studies as a Consular, concentrating his efforts on diplomacy and gaining recognition as a highly regarded diplomat. Master Vulatan, acting on an assignment from the Jedi High Council, participated in a relief mission to Dathomir. This mission also included fellow Masters Gra'aton and Yoda, along with approximately fourteen Padawans. The Jedi sought to recover the wreckage of the lost praxeum ship, known as the Chu'unthor. However, they encountered the Witches of Dathomir, who were protecting the wreckage from the Jedi. Following the loss of fourteen Padawans to the Witches, Yoda successfully negotiated the release of the ship's remaining passengers and secured a promise from the Witches to safeguard the ship's treasures from the Nightsisters, a local cult devoted to the dark side.
